Portable VirtualBox autostart?

I know that this is probably a dumb question, but can Portable VirtualBox be autostarted, like when you insert the USB drive into a port? Can this be done, or is there a plan to add this as a feature someday?

Well, if you mean to autostart Virt.Box FROM USB-Stick, that's possible.

Like with any other program via "autorun.inf". Just place a file named "autorun.inf" in the root of the USB-(or other)-Device. It must contain the following code:

Source code

[AutoRun]
open=programm[e.g. virtualbox].exe

This feature (Autoplay) must be enabled in Windows! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun
